I was reading a thread on the various merits of Quartzite, AZ boondocking locals, and one person wrote that the only thing he hears at night was a Honda generator 150 to 200 yards from him.
That's up to two football fields. I've been closer than that, and couldn't hear my Yamaha IF2000iS at all. Are those Hondas louder?
The Yamaha has this scrunched-up bunch of wires in a disk shape that clamps on the end of the exhaust pipe, which I think acts as a muffler as well as a spark arrestor. Does the Honda have anything like that?
The disk has to be cleaned about every oil change, but If you can hear Hondas two football fields away, it's worth it.
He said, she said.
Honda makes many types of generators.. All this quote says, is that a unknown Honda model is loud. What I really think you are after is for someone to tell you how superior your Yamaha is.
It's not gonna happen from me.
The truth is that they are about the same noise wise.
The differences are in other areas. What your priorities are will determine which is the one for you.
